of performance will keep me happy for a while!
Any idea why tcp:tcp_conn_hash_size=32768 would have such negative affect?Not having touched Solaris or a Sparc based system in almost 5 years, I cannot really comment on these settings in your /etc/system file. What I see on the Sun web site indicates this sets the size (in entries) of the TCP connection hash table, with the default value being 512. One would think this would affect TCP connections for both reading and writing equally. But then again..... I don't really know! The Sun docs do say only to change it from the default if you expect to consistently have more than a few thousand concurrent TCP connections.
We have tweaked this setting on some of our larger servers at work (E4500's,
E6500's and Sunfire 4800's) and it never had bad results..
Anyway, I'm glad to have been of service....
